How Is Freshpet® Food Made?

If you are a pet parent, you will want to serve your four legged friend the best possible food to maximize their health. Foods that are overcooked and contain preservatives and by-products will not keep your pet in the best possible shape. One of the reasons why many pet parents select Freshpet® products is because Freshpet® food is real pet food, fresh from the fridge. When you choose Freshpet®, you are making a choice to feed your pet the best food for their health and their taste buds.

How Does Freshpet Food Go from the Farm to Your Pet’s Bowl?

Freshpet® reviews its recipes very carefully and chooses the best ingredients, and sources locally as often as possible. These ingredients are shipped daily to its Freshpet® Kitchens in Bethlehem, PA. Every recipe you will find with a Freshpet® label will contain US farm-raised chicken, beef, or fish. No Freshpet® product contains meat powders, meal, or by-products. These proteins are paired with all-natural fruits and vegetables grown in the United States. Freshpet® food is fresh and contains no preservative, to ensure your pet receives a higher-quality product.

Once the ingredients arrive, the recipes are gently steamed at low temperatures. Unlike other pet foods, Freshpet® recipes are never overcooked to protect the integrity of the ingredients. Once the food is ready, it is vacuum sealed and refrigerated. All Freshpet® foods remain refrigerated until they are sold to you and all of Freshpet’s customers.

To ensure food safety, Freshpet® reviews all safety and quality standards and is registered with APHIS and the FDA. All meals are cooked to FDA and USDA standards and undergo 20+ quality and safety tests before they are sent to stores.

Just as with humans, dogs and cats can get a foodborne illness, which is why Freshpet® reviews and maintains the highest level of safety and quality standards.

Once Freshpet® meals leave the kitchen, they are shipped to grocery stores and pet stores all across the United States. Customers can also find Freshpet® products online. If you interested in feeding your pets fresh food that’s the next best thing to a home-cooked meal, we would encourage you to look into Freshpet® if you haven’t done so already.
